Description

The present invention relates to a removable handle intended to cooperate with a cooking vessel, the cooking vessel such as a saucepan, a frying pan or a casserole, having a side wall which is extended upwards by an outwardly curved portion .

It is known from the document EP3319497 a removable handle intended to cooperate with a cooking vessel having a side wall which is extended upwards by an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end. The removable handle extends in a longitudinal direction and comprises an internal support member and an external support member intended to come against, respectively, an inner surface and an outer surface of the side wall, as well as a upper support intended to come against the free end of the curved portion. The removable handle comprises a latch movable in translation between an open position and a closed position. The latch comprises a blocking wall intended to be remote from the internal support member in the open position of the latch and intended to generate a force on the free end in the closed position of the latch, under the action of a pressure medium. The force includes a vertical component for blocking the free end of the curved portion against the upper support member.

Thus, when the removable handle is assembled on a cooking vessel, the latch is in the closed position, the side wall is held between the internal and external support members and the curved portion is maintained between the upper support member and the blocking wall.

However, in special cases of use, in particular when the user wants to turn the food contained in the cooking container and he prints with the removable handle on the cooking container a movement from bottom to top by vigorously braking the movement at the end of the stroke, the free end of the curved portion then generates a force on the blocking wall which opposes the force of the pressurizing means and which tends to cause the lock to move back.

Thus, the user can feel a parasitic movement which appears between the removable handle and the cooking container.

The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a removable handle intended to cooperate with a cooking vessel having improved support to allow the user to handle it easily, in complete safety.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a removable handle which has a simple design and which is economical to implement.

These objects are achieved with a removable handle intended to cooperate with a cooking vessel having a side wall which is extended upwards by an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end, said removable handle extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising an internal bearing member and an external bearing member intended to come against, respectively, an interior surface and an exterior surface of the side wall, as well as an upper bearing member intended to come against the free end of the curved portion, said removable handle comprising a latch movable in translation between an open position and a closed position, the latch comprising a blocking wall intended to be remote from the internal support member in the open position of the latch and intended in generating a force on the free end in the closed position of the latch, under the action of a pressurizing means, said force comprising a vertical component F blocking the free end of the curved portion against the upper support member characterized in that the latch comprises a projecting member and the said removable handle comprises a recessed member or vice versa and in that, in the closed position, the projecting member and the recessed member are engaged one inside the other to prevent the lock from moving back when the free end generates a force on the blocking wall comprising a component F1 opposite to the vertical blocking component F and the intensity of which is greater than a predetermined value.

Thus, in the case of strong stresses of the free end on the blocking wall, the lock is blocked in the closed position and can no longer move back. Consequently, the relative movements between the removable handle and the cooking container are reduced and this makes it possible to improve the safety and the quality perceived by the user.

By vertical blocking component, it is understood that the component is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction which is substantially horizontal.

Advantageously, the projecting member and the recessed member disengage from each other automatically when the lock leaves the closed position to pass into the open position.

Advantageously, the projecting member and the recessed member extend in a vertical plane, parallel to the longitudinal direction, while the projecting member or the recessed member is movable in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between a position locking in which the lock can not move back and an unlocking position in which the lock can move back.

Thus, when the free end generates on the blocking wall a force comprising a component F1 opposite to the vertical blocking component F, the projecting member is moved in the hollow member in the direction of the vertical blocking component F .

Preferably, the projecting member is arranged close to the blocking wall.

The latch is guided in the removable handle with an operating clearance dimensioned to allow, in the closed position, a movement of the blocking wall downwards, and consequently a movement of the projecting member in the recessed member.

Advantageously, the predetermined value of the intensity of the component F1 is greater than 0.05 times the intensity of the vertical component F measured in the closed position of the lock.

Thus, the projecting member or the recessed member passes into the blocking position in which the lock cannot move back as soon as the blocking wall acts on the free end under the action of the pressurizing means. For example, the predetermined value of the intensity of the F1 component is greater than 1 N.

Advantageously, the recessed member is arranged on a clip secured to the removable handle, said clip comprising the upper support member.

Thus, the clip and the lock can be made of a resistant metallic material and the removable handle can comprise a body made of plastic material, which is more economical than a metallic material.

Preferably, the projecting member comprises at least one tooth and the recessed member comprises at least one receiving housing of complementary shape to the at least one tooth.

Such collaboration of a tooth and a receiving housing of complementary shape allows effective blocking of the lock in the closed position.

Advantageously, the at least one tooth comprises a flat face inclined at an angle β with respect to a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the angle β being greater than 15° and the at least one housing comprises a flat face of the same inclination.

Thus, the at least one tooth can come out of the at least one housing without jamming when the lock leaves the closed position.

Preferably, the removable handle includes a means for returning the lock to the open position arranged between the clip and the lock.

Such an arrangement makes it possible in particular to help the projecting member or the recessed member to pass from the locking position to the unlocking position.

Advantageously, the projecting member comprises a plurality of teeth forming at least a first rack and the recessed member comprises a plurality of receiving housings forming at least a second rack, the first rack and the second rack having the same pitch P.

Thus, several teeth and several housings can participate in blocking the lock in the closed position.

Advantageously, the pitch P is less than 2 millimeters.

Preferably, the at least one first rack comprises a first right rack and a first left rack and the at least one second rack comprises a second right rack and a second left rack, the first right and left racks and the second right racks and left with the same pitch P.

Advantageously, the first right rack and the first left rack extend parallel to the longitudinal direction while being offset by half a pitch or the second right rack and the second rack left extend parallel to the longitudinal direction, being offset by half a pitch.

Thus, the lock in the closed position can have a mobility before blocking of at most a distance equal to half a step, either with a collaboration of the first right rack with the second right rack or with a collaboration of the first left rack with the second left rack.

Preferably, the lock is movable in translation along the longitudinal direction and the blocking wall is inclined to form with the longitudinal direction, in a vertical section plane comprising the longitudinal direction, an angle α greater than 45°.

Thus, the free end generates on the blocking wall and vice versa a force comprising a vertical blocking component substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

Advantageously, the blocking wall is intended to cooperate with a lower edge of the free end in the closed position of the lock.

By lower edge of the free end, we understand a line of intersection of an outer surface of the curved portion extending the outer surface of the side wall and a substantially vertical surface, offset by a given value towards the exterior of the wall.

Advantageously, the upper bearing member comprises a bearing face intended to cooperate with an upper edge of the free end of the curved portion.

By upper edge of the free end, we understand a line of intersection of an inner surface of the curved portion extending the inner surface of the side wall and a substantially vertical surface, offset by a given value towards the exterior of the wall.

The lower and upper edges delimit the thickness of the free end of the curved portion.

By a support face intended to cooperate with an upper edge, it is understood that when the removable handle is assembled on the container of cooking, in a vertical section plane, the support face prevents movement of the upper edge in a direction comprising a vertical component, upwards, and a horizontal component, radial external to the cooking vessel.

Preferably, the pressurizing means comprise a compression spring and the thrust of the spring on the lock takes place in the longitudinal direction when the lock is in the closed position.

This arrangement makes it possible to adapt the position of the lock to the thickness and to the length of the free end.

Advantageously, the removable handle includes means for operating the toggle lock, said operating means including a lever, a connecting rod and the compression spring.

This arrangement makes it possible to obtain very ergonomic means for maneuvering the lock.

Advantageously, the latch is movable relative to the internal support, external support and upper support members which are the three integral and fixed.

The invention also relates to an assembly formed by at least one cooking container comprising a side wall which is extended upwards by an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end provided with an upper edge and a lower edge and a removable handle as previously described.

It will be noted that, in this document, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "lower", "upper", "longitudinal", "transverse", "top", "bottom", used to describe the removable handle and the cooking container refer to this removable handle in use, when it is mounted on a side wall of the cooking container, which is placed on a horizontal plane.

As seen at figures 1 to 3 , a removable handle 1 is intended to cooperate with a cooking vessel 60 which comprises a horizontal bottom wall 68, a side wall 61 rising from the bottom wall 68, and a curved portion 64 which extends outwards . The side wall 61 has an inner surface 62 and an outer surface 63. The curved portion 64 extends the side wall 61 and delimits the upper opening of the cooking vessel 60. The curved portion 64 comprises a free end 65 provided with a sharp edge. upper 66 and a lower edge 67. The upper 66 and lower 67 edges are preferably superposed in a vertical plane.

The removable handle 1 extends in a longitudinal direction 3. The removable handle 1 comprises a gripping body 2 which comprises, at a front end directed towards the cooking vessel 60, a front wall 4 forming an external support member 14 intended to cooperate with the outer surface 63 of the side wall 61. In a vertical section plane oriented along the longitudinal direction 3 ( Fig. 2 And 3 ), the external support member 14 is substantially vertical. The handle removable 1 comprises a vertical median plane which extends along the longitudinal direction 3 and which forms a plane of symmetry for the removable handle 1.

The removable handle 1 includes a clip 50 which is made of metallic material. The clip 50 comprises two legs arranged on either side of a vertical median plane. The two tabs 51a, 51b form an upper support member 15 intended to cooperate with the upper edge 66 of the free end 65. The two tabs 51a, 51b extend along the longitudinal direction 3, at the level of front end.

The removable handle 1 comprises a structural part 10 which is made of metallic material. The structural part 10 is substantially planar and has an end tab 13. The end tab 13 extends downwards and has an internal wall forming an internal support member 12 intended to cooperate with the internal surface 62 of the side wall 61.

The internal support member 12 and the external support member 14 are offset in the longitudinal direction 3 ( Fig.3 ) to allow the introduction of the side wall 61 and the free end 65 during the assembly of the removable handle 1 on the cooking container 60.

The removable handle 1 comprises a locking member formed by a lock 20 movable in translation in the longitudinal direction 3 between an open position ( Fig.3 ) and a closed position ( Fig.2 ). The latch 20 comprises a substantially planar central portion 22 which extends in the longitudinal direction 3. The clip 50 is fixed under the structural part 10 to define a housing 23 for receiving and guiding in translation the central portion 22 of the lock 20. The lock 20 comprises at a front end a blocking wall 21.

As seen at picture 3 , in the open position of the latch 20, the blocking wall 21 is intended to be moved away from the upper support member 15 to allow the introduction of the side wall 61 between the internal 12 and external 14 support members and allow the upper edge 66 of the free end 65 to come against the upper support member 15.

As seen at figure 2 And 4 , in the closed position of the latch 20, the blocking wall 21 is intended to bear against the lower edge 67 of the free end 65 and thus block the upper edge 66 against the upper support member 15. In a vertical section plane comprising the longitudinal direction 3, a straight line belonging to the blocking wall 21 and the longitudinal direction form a angle α between 40 and 50°, preferably 45°.

In accordance with the figure 7 , the lock 20 comprises a projecting member 24 formed by a plurality of teeth 26a of a first right rack 25a and a plurality of teeth 26b of a first left rack 25b. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b are arranged in the vicinity of the blocking wall 21. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b extend along the longitudinal direction 3 and are arranged on either side other of the vertical median plane. The plurality of teeth 26a of the first right rack 25a and the plurality of teeth 26b of the first left rack 25b have the same pitch P equal to 1.3 millimeters. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b extend parallel to the longitudinal direction 3 being offset by half a pitch. Each tooth 26a of the first right rack 25a and each tooth 26b of the first left rack 25b extend downwards in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3. Each tooth 26a of the first right rack 25a and each tooth 26b of the first left rack 25b have a flat face 27a, 27b inclined at an angle β equal to 20° with respect to a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3.

The clip 50 is integral with the structural part 10 which is itself integral with the gripping body 2 and the front wall 4 via two screws 7, 8 ( Fig.5 ). The clip 50 comprises a recessed member 54 formed by a plurality of housings 56a defining a second right rack 55a and a plurality of housings 56b defining a second left rack 55b. The second right rack 55a and the second left rack 55b extend along the longitudinal direction 3 and are arranged on either side of the vertical median plane. The plurality of housings 56a of the second right rack 55a and the plurality of housings 56b of the second left rack 55b have the same pitch P equal to 1.3 millimeters. The second right rack 55a and the second left rack 55b extend parallel to the longitudinal direction 3 while being offset by a half pitch P.

Each housing 56a of the second right rack 55a and each housing 56b of the second left rack 55b extend upwards in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3. Each housing 56a of the second right rack 55a and each housing 56b of the second left rack 55b have a flat face 57a, 57b inclined at an angle β equal to 20° with respect to a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3.

In the closed position of the lock 20, the projecting member 24 and the hollow member 54 are engaged one in the other to prevent the recoil of the lock 20 when the free end 65 generates on the blocking wall 21 a force comprising a vertical component F1, oriented downwards and whose intensity is greater than a predetermined value equal to 0.05 times the intensity of the vertical component F measured in the closed position of the lock 20 which is equal to approximately 25 N, i.e. 1.25 N. By the intensity of the vertical component F measured in the closed position of the lock 20, it is understood that the measurement of the intensity of the vertical component F is carried out with the sole stress of the action of a pressurizing means 47. The central portion 22 of the latch 20 is guided in translation in the housing 23 with a vertical clearance sized to allow the projecting member to move into the recessed member or to come out of it .

As seen at figure 5 And 6 , the removable handle 1 comprises a latch return means 20 disposed between a lug 58 carried by the clip 50 and a stop 28 carried by the lock 20. The return means is formed by a spring 11 which works in compression when the latch 20 is in the closed position and which is adapted to apply a restoring force to the abutment 28 to drive the latch 20 towards its open position.

In accordance with figure 2 And 3 , The removable handle 1 comprises means for moving the locking member formed by the latch 20. The moving means comprise a lever 30 which is pivotally mounted on the gripping body 2 along a pivot axis 34 extending along a transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3, and a connecting rod 40 which allows movement of the lock 20 when the lever 30 is pivoted. The connecting rod 40 is pivotally mounted, by a first end to the lock 20 according to a axis 43, and by a second end to the lever 30 along an axis 44 which is slidably mounted in an oblong opening 31 made in the lever 30 ( Fig.5 ).

The lever 30 is arranged on a lower face 6 of the gripping body 2 and is movable between a closed position and an open position passing through an intermediate position of unstable equilibrium. In the closed position of the lever 30, the latch 20 is in the closed position and in the open position of the lever 30, the latch 20 is in the open position. In addition, the displacement means also comprise a spring 47 which is arranged between the axis 44 mounted to slide and a transverse wall 32 of the lever 30. This compression spring 47 allows adjustment of the position of the lock 20 in the closed position at the thickness of the side wall 61 of the cooking vessel 60.

In accordance with the figure 2 , in the closed position of the lever 30, the axis 44 about which the second end 42 pivots is located above a line passing through the pivot axis 34 and the axis 43. The second end 42 is held in contact with the structural part 10 under the action of the compression spring 47. Thus, the lock 20 naturally remains in its closed position, without the user having to maintain any effort on the removable handle 1. The intermediate position of unstable equilibrium of the lever 30 is reached when the axis 44 around which the second end 42 pivots, is moved under the line passing through pivot axis 34 and axis 43.

As seen on the figures 1 to 5 , the removable handle 1 comprises an opening button 17 which makes it possible to pass the lever 30 initially in its closed position beyond its intermediate position of unstable equilibrium. The opening button 17 is arranged on an upper face of the gripping body 2. The opening button 17 is rotatable around a transverse axis, horizontal to the longitudinal direction 3 of the removable handle 1. The button opening 17 is movable between a lowered position of rest in which the lever 30 is in its closed position, an intermediate raised position in which the lever is in its intermediate position of unstable equilibrium and a raised position in which the lever 30 is in its open position.

In operation, to disassemble the removable handle 1 from the cooking vessel 60, the user grasps the gripping body 2 and rotates with the thumb the opening button 17 from the lowered rest position in which the lever 30 is in its closed position to the raised position in which the lever 30 is in its open position. The passage of the lever 30 from its closed position to its open position causes via the connecting rod 40 the displacement of the lock 20 from its closed position to its open position.

To assemble the removable handle 1 on the cooking vessel 60, the user grasps the gripping body 2 and following the same procedure as that described above brings the lock 20 into its open position. He introduces the free end 65 of the curved portion 64 between the internal support member 12 and the external support member 14 to bring the inner surface 62 of the side wall 61 against the internal support member 12 and the outer surface 63 against the outer support member 14, and also bring the upper edge 66 against the two legs 51a, 51b. Then, he presses the lever 30 to move it from its open position to its closed position and thus cause the lock 20 to move from its open position to its closed position. The blocking wall 21 then bears against the lower edge 67 of the free end 65 and thus blocks the upper edge 66 against the two tabs 51a, 51b. The free end 65 of the curved portion 64 then generates on the blocking wall 21 a force which comprises a component F1 opposite to the vertical blocking component F, oriented downwards, which moves the blocking wall 21 downwards. At least one of the teeth 26a, 26b of the first right rack 25a or of the first left rack 26a is engaged in one of the housings 56a, 56b of the second right rack 55a or of the second left rack 55b and the lock 20 passes into the closed position. In particular use, in particular when the user wants to turn the food contained in the cooking receptacle 60, for example to turn pancakes, and that he prints with the removable handle 1 on the cooking receptacle 60 a movement from bottom to high by vigorously braking the movement at the end of the race, the lock 20 cannot move back.

Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example only. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

In a variant embodiment, in the closed position, the latch 20 is movable between an unlocked closed position in which the projecting member 24 and the recessed member 54 are disengaged from each other and a locked closed position in which the projecting member 24 and the recessed member 54 are engaged one in the other to prevent the recoil of the lock 20 when the free end 65 generates on the blocking wall 21 a force comprising a component F1 opposite to the vertical blocking component F and whose intensity is greater than the intensity of the vertical component F measured in the closed position of the lock 20. In the case of strong stresses of the free end 65 on the blocking wall 21, the latch 20 passes into the blocked closed position.
